Review: 'Good Will Hunting' is well performend drama

Good Will Hunting    R        

            This 1997 picture excels at character and drama in this story of a brilliant math student at MIT and his mentors. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams are part of a good cast, and the story is solid. Damon plays the surprise prodigy, who was a janitor who solves a nearly impossible math problem. The later flick, A Beautiful Mind is similar, but this is clearly not a case of copycatting. This story's math wizard isn't nuts, will not like the professor in the other flick.
